I'm in NC, too. Where I am, it's a status symbol-type thing.

Although, it might just be a function of where I shop, but most of the "offenders" that I see are young (16-34), white, and female.

I'll grant that there are hidden handicaps - as detailed on this thread - but, my general experience is that those with difficulties don't bounce out of their cars and dash into the store. They also don't just have a handicap on rainy days, either.

I agree...I have had my prosthetic for about 6 weeks and am learning to use it quite well...It IS nice to not have to walk very far to get into where I need to go...It is a chore to get into and out of my vehicle, which I also had to have a left foot accelorator installed...I don’t get bent out of shape when I see someone in a handicapped space that looks like they don’t need it and I will walk a little further if need be....but...
